| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Robert M Rivera, Public Works Director | | DATE: | 7/7/2020 | | RE: | ITB20-013 Wastewater Treatment Plant/Water Treatment Plant Bulk Chemical Purchase Bid Award |
REQUEST:
Attached for your review and consideration for approval by City Council are the results of the bids received for the bulk purchase of hypochlorite used in the treatment process of wastewater and raw water.
DISCUSSION:
On June 18, 2020 two (2) sealed bids were received by the City Clerk and opened on June 19, 2020. The results of the bid tabulation identified the apparent low bidder as Odyssey Manufacturing Company for bulk purchase of hypochlorite at $0.535 a gallon (gl). This is an increase of the current $0.04 cents per gallon rate or $9,000 per year increase for the WWTP and approximately a $4,720 increase for the WTP. The other bid submitted was from Allied Universal Corporation for $0.537/gl. Subsequent to the bid tabulation, Wastewater Treatment Plant personnel reviewed and verified performance standards of the hypochlorite as describe in the bid documents and have confirmed that Odyssey Manufacturing Company has met all of the terms of the bid documents.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommended action by staff of Council is to approve the bid tabulation and award the low bid for the purchase of hypochlorite from Odyssey Manufacturing Company.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the purchases is budgeted and available in the Water Pollution Control No. 401112-45221, Reclaimed Water-Production No. 401111-45221.
